Manchester Metrolink engineering convesion work at Altrincham 1991 a

Metrolink convesion work is seen underway at Altrincham in the summer of 1991. A new track layout has been laid to separate the running lines of BR and Metrolink ahead of the reopening the following year as a light rail system. The section of electrified down track from here to Navigation Rd was de-electrified and some of the former MSJ&AR overhead line gantries were removed.
